Happened to be listening to Jeff Krasner's album, Strong for You playing in the background. Unfortunately, they seemed more interested in the car or me and stopped to stare for a while.

Life in New Mexico
A few videos from this morning. I had to stop when I saw these feral horses frolicking in the field along the highway. There were at least six horses pairing off and having a fun time. Quite a sight for a Connecticut Yankee.

Either they loved the music or they're accustomed to people who stop giving them a treat. Either way, magnificent!
Wild horses -- how wonderful!
A common sight here in the Texas countryside, too. But why do you say they are feral? Looks to me like they're in somebody's fenced pasture - no?
Just about every road is fenced off with barbed wire...about a zillion miles of wire, I assume. These horses are on land belonging to the Cochiti or Santo Domingo reservation and mostly left to fend for themselves. And it's a stretch to call it a "pasture" as it has been so overgrazed that there is hardly a blade of grass left. (Most of the grass you see is on the side of the fence by the road). These horses would be in grass heaven a bit farther north in Espanola. So we may see some horses one day and they are long gone by the next in search of something to munch on. Whether or not "feral" or "wild" is an accurate appellation, I don't know...but I took the liberty. They are on the Cochiti or the Santo Domingo Pueblos, but whether they are cared for or stabled, I would doubt.
Ah, okay, I get it.
